Abstract

It is known that RAM-based finite state machines (FSMs) can be very effectively implemented in reconfigurable hardware with distributed memory blocks. One possible approach to the engineering design of such circuits is based on a fuzzy-state encoding technique. This approach allows rapid construction of high-speed devices based on RAM-blocks of a modest size. The key point in the engineering design process is the development of a state encoding and this problem has a high combinatorial complexity, especially for FSMs with a large number of states. This paper proposes a novel evolutionary algorithm for the solution of this problem.
